Quick question re Freewheeler Sissybar & passenger pad rear

I'm making a hand tooled seat and passenger backrest for my Freewheeler for when I eventually collect it in September. I have done all the designs and templates except on the rear of the passenger pad above the top of the sissy bar. The design is done but I need to check size.

Please could someone with this set-up give me the measurement from the top centre screw (on the triangular bracket plate) to the top of the sissy bar, and another measure from the top of the sissybar to the top centre crease of the pad rear.

I can then work out the space I have available.

Appreciate the help.

Phil

Hi Phil. Have you checked out the Harley Davidson Freewheeler Group on FB? You should request to join and then post your question on there also. I do have the set up you are wanting measurements of. I'm getting ready to go out of town for a few days but I will try and make time to measure it for you. Joan

Thanks Joan.

Looking at a better image I only need a guide measure from the top of Sissybar to top of pad rear(crease).

Phil, here are the measurements you were needing. I am giving you two different ones:

From the top of the sissy bar to the to the sewn seam is 2 3/4 inches (US)

From the top of the sissy bar to the top of the pad is 3 1/2 inches US)

There really isn't a 'crease' unless you are referring to the seam on the back.

Hope this is what you are looking for. Joan

Phil, I attached a picture to your post on the Tr-Glide/Freewheeler HD Forum. I couldn't get it to work on here. Joan

Thanks so much Joan.

Exactly what I needed. I have managed to finish the design template for the rear and it's all looking great.

Ordering the leather as I'm ready to do the tooling now.
